At Congresbury Community Library there were smiles all around as people dug into chocolate sponge and cream and jam scones.

Congresbury councillor Tom Leimdorfer told the Times around 50 people came to the event – in addition to those who visited the library for other reasons – which raised £171 in total.

The coffee morning is one of Macmillan’s biggest fundraising events and has previously raised millions of pounds nationwide.

There are more than 2.5 million people in the UK living with cancer and by 2030 this is expected to rise to four million.

Macmillan nurses provide around-the-clock care to families and individuals who have been diagnosed with cancer.

The charity provides medical, emotional, practical and financial support to people when they are at their most vulnerable.

The charities experts pride themselves on continuing the support they offer, right from the diagnosis through treatment and once a patient is in remission.
